You have asked seven specific questions regarding certain events which transpired at the May 26, 1992 primary election in Franklin County. Four of these questions are restated below. The other questions, however, will be addressed by separate correspondence. You state that you serve as the chairman of the Franklin County Election Commission and the secretary of the Franklin County Democratic Central Committee. You were serving in these positions at the time of the primary election held May 26, 1992. The method by which the returns from the various precincts in Franklin County would be tabulated was apparently discussed between yourself, the other election officials and the county clerk. The tabulation was to take place at the clerk's office. You state that you established a plan to accommodate the need for adequate working space for the election officials in the clerk's office and still provide reasonable access to the candidates, the public and the news media. You state that the owner/operator of the local radio station demanded that the Commission provide space for his broadcast physically inside the clerk's office. This request was denied. You state that at about 8:00 p.m., the first box came in and, as the second box was coming in, the 200 Tower Building, 323 Center Street * Little Rock, Arkansas 72201-2610
